Our flagship event designed to cater to the needs of those who design, build, operate and maintain our built environment. These sessions focus on the use of BIM tools, BIM processes and workflows, as well as project and practice strategies and leadership skills.

The Building Content Summit (BCS) is an event dedicated to bringing together thought leaders from within the design, manufacturing and software sectors to discuss best practices for development and how to leverage BIM content within projects.

Aimed at students and educators, BILT academy is a one-day summit including Labs with exciting and interesting experts as speakers to provide the opportunity to discover the current state of the art practices and workflows in a multiple platform environment.

A hackathon is a design 'sprint-like' event where teams of usually between 3-6 people work together based on a specific theme, with the goal to create usable software or hardware as a functioning prototype or product by the end of the event.

Webinar: There and Back Again: The BIM Journey of one project over 7 years

The complexity of integrated different delivery teams which had over the course seven years; One PM, One Architect, Two Design teams, Two Builders, 1 BIM Consultant, 2 Construction BIM Managers. Why BIM?

Charles and David will look at the ongoing development of Clients BIM requirements from 2013 to the present. They will take you through the initial thoughts on what the client aimed to achieve and why they thought BIM was the solution, what was actually wanted versus what they needed.

Charles and David will provide an outline of the project and discuss the different stages and why and how the BIM requirements were able to evolve. What were the challenges that the PM had to overcome at each step along the way? The clients drive and persistence in pushing for more as each stage was delivered has created an ongoing opportunity for this project.
